1964 Map of Rocky Bar

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Rocky Bar sits at the heart of this rugged mining district in the Boise National Forest during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the steep drainages of Bear Creek and the Feather River, which historically drew prospectors to the high mountain gulches. Traces of this mining history are evident at the Spanish Town (Site), while the administrative and recreational life of the era is marked by the Rocky Bar Guard Station and Elk Spring Campground. The terrain rises sharply toward Steel Mountain and Horse Ranch Mountain, with numerous narrow waterways like Red Warrior Creek and Lincoln Creek cutting through the forest. The presence of a Pack Trail winding through the Western Elmore County backcountry suggests a period when accessibility was still limited to primitive routes and light-duty roads, preserving the remote character of the Sawtooth National Forest boundary.
